Fiery Constellations (Rewritten One-shots)

Modernish

Lucy's POV

I wake up in the morning when my alarm goes off. I try to get up but Natsu's arms pull me down. "Lushi~ Come back to sleep" He whines. I push on his shoulders to try to get away. He doesn't budge. "Natsu, my mom is coming over and I have to clean the house and get ready." He lets me go. "Is she bringing Nash with her?" "Yeah." Natsu hovers over me in a second. "I wish he could stay there for an extra day so we can have more fun" He says, grabbing my hips. I blush. "No~" "Well, it is about time we make him a sister" He smirks. I smile. "I suppose." He lifts me up, making me squeal, and tosses me over his shoulder as we head to the shower. 

I hum and mop the floor as Natsu moves the furniture to sweep under. Natsu was singing to the music we had playing. After we're finished, I start dinner prep. I put a dry rub on the whole chickens, some simple spices, garlic, onion power, and a few more. I put them on a skewer and put the skewer in the rotisserie oven but don't start it yet. I chop up some potatoes, carrots, onions and some garlic cloves and stick it in a pan, then put the pan under the chickens. I close the door and hit start. I wash my hands then look through the cupboard, humming. I turn my head. "Natsu!" "Yeah?" He calls out from the basement. "What do you want for dessert?" I ask. "How about a fruit pie?" "Ok!" I grab out the ingredients for the basic pie then I pull fruit out of the fridge, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and a few apples. 

I make the pie crust then make the filling. I toss sugar and cinnamon in a pot then add the fruit. I pull out a bottle of maple syrup then pour a little in there. I throw the filling into the crust, add a nice top crust, add some cute designs, then put it in the preheated oven. Natsu comes up from the basement as I clean the kitchen. He sniffs the air. "Damn it smells even better up here." I wash my hands. I look up at him and notice the goggles. "Working on your 'secret' project?" I ask. He grins. "Oh yeah!" I remember something in the fridge. I pull it out then pull out a basting brush. I open the rotisserie oven and brush some juice on the chickens. "What's that? It smells heavenly." Once the chickens are fully coated, I pour the rest onto the veggies. I put the dish in the sink. I sigh and look up at him. "Oh that? It's a secret." He shrugs it off. 

The timer for the oven goes off. I look up from my laptop and see Natsu pulling the pie out with his bare hands. He sets it on the stove. He sees me watching. "What? I'm heat and cold resistant." He says. I shrug then continue writing. I look down at the time. It was a couple minutes till 6. I save my writing then close my laptop. I open the door as the clock hits 6. Mom was standing there with Nash. "Hi mom!" I smile and hug her. "Hello my little star. How was your vacation?" She asks, as I take Nash's suitcase from her, Nash runs off and tackles Natsu. "Dad!" Is all I hear for a moment. I shrug. "It was fun. We didn't really go anywhere though." "Got lots of private time sounds like." I turn red. "Mama!" 

I set Nash's suitcase in his room. Nash tackles me. "Hi Mom!" I hug him back and ruffle his crazy pink hair. "Hey! How was grandma's?" I ask. "It was awesome!" He shouts. "That's good!" I hear the rotisserie oven go off. "Sounds like dinner might be ready." I say. He cheers and runs to the table. I walk to the kitchen and grab my thermometer. I stick it into the biggest chicken. Done. "Natsu? Can you pull these out please?" I ask. He nods. "Why have him do it?" Mom asks. I hum. "Because his heat resistance allows him to do it bare handed. And I don't like my oven mitts, I need to buy new ones." She looks at Natsu in awe. I grab out a giant plate. "How do you want this on there?" He asks. "Veggies first then set the chickens on top. I'm going to get the pie out of the fridge." He gives me an ok. I walk over and pull the pie out. Nash claps. "Yay!" 

We finish, I was getting a lot of complements from everyone, mainly Natsu. I wasn't too impressed with the pie. I walk Mama out to her car. "Have you heard from him?" I ask. She nods. "I have. Same old same old with him." I nod. "I see..." Mama puts her hand on my shoulder. "I want to believe something in him is changing but I couldn't tell you, since we divorced after the incident." I hug her. "It's ok Mama." "I love you. I'll see you later honey" She says. "Love you too. Be safe driving." She looks behind me as we pull out of the hug. She walks over and hugs Natsu. "I love you too dear. Thanks for taking care of my daughter all these years." Mama says. Natsu hugs her back, grinning. "It's no problem. I would do anything for her" I pipe in. "Murder someone for me?" Natsu raises an eyebrow. "I'll hide the body." Mama pulls back laughing. "You two"
